Default CTEK Battery Chargers......

The CTEK Battery Charger is the smartest battery charger on the market, period.....Included as an OEM component on many high end cars, it simply cannot be beat when you compare features/price to other chargers on the market. It is outdoor certified, small enough to mount anywhere on your car, dust proof, shock proof, spark proof, and get this-->reverse polarity protected (smart enough to know if you have the red and black wires reversed



The CTEK is one of the few battery chargers you can leave connected to your battery while it is connected to the car without risk of damaging your vehicles computer. You can leave it connected for months and months without worry of damaging your battery as it is constantly conditioning your battery instead of just keeping it charged.

We have sold hundreds of the CTEK brand chargers for the last few years and have been able to negotiate a great price for an awesome charger.

Check it out at the link below....in stock and ready to ship! Trust me, no other charger on the market even comes close to this one and our price is hard to beat. Lots more information and informative video at the link below.

I've got one. Highly recommended. I use to use a Battery Tender Plus but when it fried I switched to CTek.

Dave,
How is this better than a Battery Tender Plus? What is the life expectancy? My BT fried over the winter.

Liked it so much (because it works great - no frying), I bought one for my buddy. If your Vette is a garage queen or hiberate in the winter, you need to get one.

TTT for a well worth product

To all you ctek owners. I have the model US800 hooked to my car for 3 days now. I have not driven the car and the charge indicator is still on. Does it ever switch over to the maintenance charge?

Depending on the charge level when I put the CTEK on, it can take several days to see the green light..

It does...just takes time depending on the situation. How long had it been since you drove the car before the previous drive? How long did you drive it this last time?

The charger does not start maintenance unitl the battery is ready. It is really that smart.

i just thought that because I have the smaller US800 instead of the US3300 it might not be up to the job. I heard about CTEK 5 years ago. It sounded so good I purchased it and had it sitting in the garage. then I bought a Vett and I guess it finally came in handy. Had the CTEK before the VETT

You know the CTEK can be used on ANY car, it was not just designed for a Corvette.

A person sometimes dont know these things on forums, that is why I posted that. Some people think things are specifically made for Corvettes and nothing else that are sold here sometimes.

great products, I own one and need a second. I only wish it would have incorporated a voltmeter and ammeter into the design. not needed, but I just like to be able to know what's going on.

CTEK also makes some larger models of this charger, is there any benefit to going with one of the bigger ones or is the multi 3300 plenty for any automotive use?
